SPEAKING OF SONG LYRICS...
Mates of State-Goods

Anybody understand what this song is all about? If not, any theories? I looked up the lyrics cause I thought they said something like:

Well it lasted all day
and we were plastered all day
(which would have been kinda cool)

But I guess its something totally different and just wondering if anybody else gets this song...

Wow! I'm sorry I just saw this today. I could never pick a single favorite--I love too many.
These are a few greats from Nick Cave.
From Hallelujah, on No More Shall We Part.

"Be mindful of the prayers you send
Pray hard but pray with care
For the tears that you are crying now
Are just your answered prayers."

Sorrow's Child, on The Good Son.

"And just when you thought as though
All your your tears were wept and done
Sorrow's child grieves not what has passed
But all the past still yet to come."

Loochy already gave us a great Firewater lyric.
There are, oh, I don't know--maybe thousands!
